DBX&DBX: Reborn: The flashback version!
After receiving a warning from the future, Goku and friends found a secret underground part of Dr. Gero’s lab which contained three Android Capsules. Though warned not to open them, they decided it couldn’t be too harmful, since their power level scanning brought low power levels and an incomplete Android. But like Goku and friends, these three knew how to mask their power. And what makes this about ten times worse is that the incomplete one, Android 3, was not just an Android. He was a Saiyan as well. Sent before Goku, when Bardock was but a child. When released, the three attempted to kill Goku, but were defeated after a difficulty battle. 2 and 6 were left to recover, but 3 was brought back to Bulma’s place to heal. The crew found secret blueprints in 3’s capsule behind where he was, labeled ‘Last Hope for World’. 3 knew the truth behind this label, however. After awakening, he was informed by Bulma that he was put into Gohan’s old clothing since his own was very destroyed, and that Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo went to find the two parts and bring them back for completion. 3 grabbed the Senzu Beans that were there, and rushed to them to stop them before it was too late.
Upon his arrival, 3 discovered he was already too late. Cell 2.0 had been awakened and was about to kill Gohan, but 3 stepped in his way. Through an epic 1-on-1 clash, 3 defeated Cell 2.0 by a hair, and protected the world once more. A few more villains had appeared and threatened the Earth, but not much happened there. But when Cell 3.0 was unleashed, he made sure to absorb Androids 2 and 6 before any other creature. Upon discovering that unlike the original Cell, Cell 3.0’s absorption turned them into pure, unreversable energy, 3 became enraged to levels known only to Goku back on Namek. This was 3’d first time becoming a Super Saiyan. He trained as hard as he could after the fight was over, but could never reach Super Saiyan 2. Settling with his training after feeling he could do it in the next true battle, he stopped. The next battle came, and Bojack had returned. He, as you might expect, wanted revenge on Goku and Gohan. But when Bojack killed Goku, 3 and Vegeta became so enraged that they both became able to transform to their next levels without assistance from the outside. Vegeta unlocked the true ability to become Super Saiyan 4, and 3 became Super Saiyan 3. The two of them came together to stop Bojack, and later revived Goku with a wish on the Dragon Balls.
Not long after, Bulma and Hercule both decided they wanted to be useful. Through Pan, Hercule scheduled training time with 3. Bulma did it herself, since he was staying in Trunks’ room in their house. He trained the two against each other at first, and eventually taught them some techniques. Bulma, however, was unable to learn most of them. Hercule learned them all perfectly. From there, 3 trained them until they could block his fire blasts without a mark on their bodies. The two insisted that the 37th time, he didn’t hold back, and he granted them their wish. To all three of their surprise, Hercule managed to not just block the attack unphased, but also absorb and fire it back. 3 used the power of his AEC(Artificial Element Crystal) of Fire to convert it to energy. Bulma, however, developed her one and only unique ability, the Ultimate Element Punch. With this attack, from her fingertips to her elbow was surrounded in a solid barrier of fire, water, rock, wind, light, and darkness, as she threw a powerful punch at her target. Using this skill, she stopped the fire blast in its tracks. When Cell X arrived, he was weak enough that Bulma and Hercule managed to defeat him on their own. However, the two of them retired from hero fighting after that, knowing what a struggle it took to fight him, and knowing things would only get worse. They knew the training was too much already.
Cell X soon reached his second form, and used a strange mix of skills to create a gate to another world. 3 and Gohan followed, Hercule accidentally being stuck along. This would come to be his last fight with the heroes. Through the portal, a strange past-like world with “demons” and “half-demons” was there. Cell X was attacking the world’s local heroes, and the current target was a half-demon named Inuyasha. 3 rushed to his side, pulling out his sword, and blocked X’s tail with his blade, creating a cut. X unleashed on 3, but he defended the heroes with all his power. 3 soon realized Inuyasha would die from blood loss as things stood, so he placed all of his purity into the energy of his blade and put it through Inuyasha’s heart, placing Inuyasha’s soul and mind alongside 3’s. This unlocked 3’s newest transformation, Demon Saiyan, where he became covered in fur, had demonic red eyes where a Super Saiyan had green, and had four claws on each hand. This form also somehow ripped his clothes at the edges no matter what he was wearing when he transformed, most likely due to the power. This form matched up to the next form he unlocked, but contained special techniques.
During the final showdown in a third world against Cell X, 3 became enraged that one of the two he trained was absorbed, even knowing he would be freed on X’s death. This lead to a quite literally earth-shaking transformation to Super Saiyan 5, a form equal in power to Demon Saiyan. 3 learned from Inuyasha while at a near-loss point that he could combine the forms if the two united their power perfectly. 3 transformed down to Super Saiyan 3, and then combined with the Demon Saiyan form, knowing his control limits. However, his power was still no match for Perfect Cell X. 3 was forced to bring himself to Demon Super Saiyan 5, a form that he lost control in. After the fight, he unleashed his power on everyone around him, showing no control or mercy. Bulma, during this all, developed a device to travel to their location and back once and only once. She and Vegeta brought Trunks along to aid in the battle. Meanwhile, inside 3’s head, 3 and Inuyasha fought 3’s dark side for control of his body, eventually leading to his transformation to Super Saiyan 7. This also lead to Vegeta becoming Super Saiyan 5, along with Gohan. Trunks also soon reached Super Saiyan 4. Many more evils came, including a strange swirling white vortex in the sky, which unleashed everything Goku or any of his friends had ever faced, except over 100x their original power.
During their battle against the reborn Frieza and Cooler, Cooler managed to smash the AECs, along with the backups. 3 made an exit and began a journey through space to find the Shrine of Elements, where he could obtain the real Element Crystals. On Earth, the heroes fought for their lives and planet, barely beating Frieza and Cooler, who were followed by King Cold, Chilled, Cell, Cell 2.0, Cell 3.0, Android 13, Bojack, and Majin Buu. All at once. In Vegeta’s exact(censored) words, he reacted to seeing this with, “Well then…Seems that we, along with this planet, are totally f***ed.” Though expecting this, he still fought.
Meanwhile, 3 was put to his limits with no elements as he had to face each of the Elemental Spirit Guardians to earn the crystals. After earning all 6, he reached the Element Shrine, where he was tasked with defeating all 6 in their united form. When his AECs regenerated, he stopped the fight, and told them he had to return. Why he came was fixed, and he had a planet to defend. The six gave him the crystals, and told him the true test was to know whether or not he was pure of heart. He returned with the crystals, unleashing a fury of Super Saiyan 7 elemental attacks on the villains, defeating all of them swiftly. However, what came next shocked everyone. Xicor, the half-God half-Saiyan creature, emerged from the hole, absorbing its energy as he did. He explained that this was his escape from Hell, and he was here for revenge. 3 stepped in the way, however, and fought Xicor in a full-power showdown. 3 unleashed an attack gifted to him by the Elemental Spirit Guardians, the Final Beam, on Xicor to end the fight. Knowing this attack was the second deadliest in the universe, he knew it would take a lot of energy to use.
Not even a week later, five future versions of heroes from the present arrived to kill Android 3 in order to protect the future. These five were Future Android 3, Future Goku, Future Videl, Future Vegeta, and Future Trunks. However, Trunks, Videl, Goku, and Vegeta were training with 3 at the time, so they battled their future selves. 3 suggested that they tell him what he did so he could prevent it, but the future heroes wouldn’t accept it. After nearing victory, Future 3 was surprised to see Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Android 18, Goten, and Pan show up to help. Goten and Trunks fused, along with Goku and Vegeta. Future Goku and Future Vegeta responded with fusion as well, all fusions immediately turning Super Saiyan 4. Future 3 quickly lost the fight, coming near death before deciding to leave things be and return to the future.
The days, weeks, and months went by as battle after battle the heroes grew stronger, even unlocking the level of Super Saiyan 15 and finding Broly once again, but this time through 3 convincing him to become a hero. But a time came when everything the heroes had wasn’t enough. An invasion of alien creatures came. The soldiers attacking the planet were equal to Super Saiyan 7 Android 3, and there were thousands for every hero to beat. Everyone powered up to their max power levels, but even that was not enough. 3 used the Spirit Bomb he had once seen Goku use and gathered energy from all 3 universes he had been to, and the shattered machine parts, to destroy their leader and ship with the Cyber Tri-Univeral Spirit Bomb. 3 used all of his power, and in the end lost his life by putting his very last life energy into the attack.
3 was revived nearly 3 months later during a time of peace, using the Black-Star Dragon Balls on a distant, uninhabited planet. Not long after his revival, a new threat arose. Android 13 had survived both times the heroes had fought him. The original 13 and Xicor’s Hell Mode 13 had fused to become End Android 13. They also created End Androids 14 and 15. The heroes fought them off, but End 13 took their energy, parts, and entire bodies this time, to become Super End Android 13. His power rivaled that of Broly 3, a discovered fusion between Android 3 and Broly, while at their max transformation, Legendary Demon Saiyan. Gogeta, Gotenks, and Broly 3 fought him, barely winning.
More battles came, but as always, the heroes adjusted and became stronger each and every time. But then 3 received a warning from the Elemental Spirit Guardians…Five orbs, the Orbs of Time, had been placed on the Earth. Four events that triggered four orbs had passed, and the fifth was imminent. The moon would be hurled at the Earth, and 3 would stop it. Nearly a week later, the aliens had come back, but this time the robots were equal to 50 of the first ones every robot. Being royal guards and much more equipped and powerful, there were less, but they still heavily outnumbered the heroes, 45 to 1. The heroes were forced the split, Hercule and Bulma defending the planet as well. Goku and 3 went to face their leader, and blew through the robots like nothing in their fused form, Goku 3. Their fusion time ran out as they stood before Death, the emperor of these aliens, and also the self-proclaimed overlord of all things in the universe. It turned out that Peacekeeper, a villain faced earlier in their time after the first invasion, was created by Death, and that Death was responsible for all evil in this universe, even the evil of Gods such as Xicor’s half-God side and Beerus, the God of Destruction. He was even responsible for Frieza destroying Vegeta and Namek. The orbs 3 had been warned about were also known to Goku through 3. Death had 3 of the orbs, and Android 3 had the other. The fifth had yet to be found, but Goku pointed out that the fifth event had to happen for the orbs to unleash their power. One of death’s spare empty sips smashed into the moon, quickly followed by another, sending the moon hurling at the planet. As it turned out, the final orb was on the moon. 3 flew to stop the moon, but it was already within Earth’s gravitational pull. He attempted to push it using force, but noticed the final orb, and realized both were active. Meanwhile, Goku was fighting Death and standing on even grounds without any form of Super Saiyan. But once the orbs activated, even Super Saiyan 15 Goku wasn’t enough to match up to Death. 3 used the two orbs’ power to literally carry the moon back into orbit, and then returned to assist Goku. However 3 had dropped an orb and Death had caught it before Goku or 3 could react. Death now had 4 orbs, and 3 and Goku had 1. Death said that he would spare the planet if 3 handed over the fifth orb, and Goku and 3 agreed to do it. But Death had lied. The moment the orb was handed over, he began his transformation. He grew to twice his normal size, and his power multiplied by nearly 1,000 times his original power, placing his power level above that of Xicor’s Ginyu Force, Xicor’s Armored Squad, Void Xicor, Super Saiyan 20 Goku 3, Legendary Demon Saiyan Broly 3, Super Saiyan 16 Gogeta, Super Saiyan 10 Gotenks, and Super Saiyan 15 Gohan all combined. 3 instantly began to transform into Demon Super Saiyan 20, but his transformation was cut short as a laser the size of a string shot through his body, melting his electrified blood, his heart, and even his mechanical life support systems. Inuyasha would soon die as well this time. Death’s transformation continued, as he grew two spikes on each limb, one above and one below the joint, and finally his head turned to look like Cooler’s in his final form. He told Goku he had five minutes to accept 3’s death before he’d kill him. Goku took this time to absorb 3 and Inuyasha the way 3 absorbed Inuyasha at first. He also took all of their energy, but even then, and even within Goku, the two died within two minutes, explaining what they could about what they felt in the laser and how to combine it with what he saw to counter Death’s attacks. Goku then told the heroes to spare as much energy as possible to him, especially the Saiyans. He planned to unleash an old form combined with some new ones. Receiving energy from every hero, Goku stood without transforming at the power 3 stood at with Super Saiyan 20, his highest level, and the second highest standalone Super Saiyan level. Even still, it was nothing compared to Death. Death finished his transformation to Ultimate Death with black, misty orbs appearing on his body, the five orbs appearing being the ones giving his power. Goku transformed to Legendary Demon Super Saiyan first, still being under half of Ultimate Death’s power. He used the pure-hearted Saiyan energy of five other Saiyans, along with any spare energy, to access and combine to the highest possible level he could reach. This level is a level he knew would probably kill him, yet he knew the Earth would fall if he didn’t. Combining the power of 3, himself, all fallen heroes, five other Saiyans, and all of the other heroes, along with Inuyasha, he combined Super Saiyan 20, Legendary Super Saiyan, Demon Saiyan, and Super Saiyan God, leading into his newest form, Legendary Demon Super Saiyan God 20(Which we’ll call LDSSG20 for short). Ultimate Death and LLDSSG20 Goku were evenly matched, clashing with equal power for a long time. Sensing his time in Super Saiyan God was nearly over, he grabbed the six Element Crystals, along with the old AECs, and spread them into the hexagon shape. Using an attack 3 learned during one of their battles combined with the machine parts, he created an attack deadlier than the deadliest attack in the universe. This was the Cyber Six-Element Final Strike. He then launched a Cyber Final Beam to boost the power, followed by a Tri-Universal Cyber Spirit Bomb and Cyber Kamehameha. Ultimate Death countered with the Chaos Death Laser, a giant black laser that makes anything it touches vanish from existence outside memories. The attacks were being thrown with full power, but neither had an edge. Suddenly, from 3, came a desperate final three words. “E….ra…..ser….Ca…..nnon……Bit….ch……” As he said this, he launched a weak but just needed Eraser Cannon, Broly’s move that 3 learned by using his ‘see-and-copy’ tactic, at Ultimate Death. Ultimate Death deflected it with but a flick, but it took his attention away long enough for Goku to unleash so much power that he was back to his normal form again. He unleashed a Kaioken times 5,000 into his attack just so he could hold it, and Ultimate Death was no match in the end. The world was saved, but at the price of the most powerful hero falling. Life returned to normal, but Android 3 was not forgotten, and the battle he died in was not either.
